Exodus 29:22-46

English Standard Version

²²“You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail and the ^(A)fat that covers the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ^(B)ordination), ²³and ^(C)one loaf of bread and one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord. ²⁴You shall put all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and ^(D)wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. ²⁵Then ^(E)you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a ^(F)pleasing aroma before the Lord. It is a food offering to the Lord.

²⁶“You shall take the ^(G)breast of the ram of Aaron's ^(H)ordination and ^(I)wave it for a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion. ²⁷And you shall consecrate the ^(J)breast of the wave offering that is waved and the ^(K)thigh of the priests' portion that is contributed from the ram of ^(L)ordination, from what was Aaron's and his sons'. ²⁸It shall be for Aaron and his sons as a ^(M)perpetual due from the people of Israel, for it is a ^(N)contribution. It shall be a ^(O)contribution from the people of Israel from their peace offerings, their contribution to the Lord.

²⁹“The holy garments of Aaron ^(P)shall be for his sons after him; they shall ^(Q)be anointed in them and ordained in them. ³⁰The son who succeeds him as priest, who comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place, shall wear them ^(R)seven days.

³¹“You shall take the ram of ordination and ^(S)boil its flesh in a holy place. ³²And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the ^(T)bread that is in the basket in the entrance of the tent of meeting. ³³^(U)They shall eat those things with which atonement was made at their ordination and consecration, but an ^(V)outsider shall not eat of them, because they are holy. ³⁴And if any of the flesh for the ordination or of the bread remain until the morning, then you shall ^(W)burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

³⁵“Thus you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Through ^(X)seven days shall you ordain them, ³⁶and every day you shall offer a ^(Y)bull as a sin offering for atonement. Also you shall purify the altar, when you make atonement for it, and shall ^(Z)anoint it to consecrate it. ³⁷Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it, and the ^(AA)altar shall be most holy. ^(AB)Whatever touches the altar shall become holy.

³⁸“Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: ^(AC)two lambs a year old ^(AD)day by day regularly. ³⁹One lamb you shall offer ^(AE)in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer ^(AF)at twilight. ⁴⁰And with the first lamb a tenth measure^[a] of fine flour mingled with a fourth of a hin^[b] of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering. ⁴¹The other lamb you shall offer ^(AG)at twilight, and shall offer with it a grain offering and its drink offering, as ^(AH)in the morning, for a ^(AI)pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord. ⁴²It shall be a ^(AJ)regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord, ^(AK)where I will meet with you, to speak to you there. ⁴³There I will meet with the people of Israel, and it shall be ^(AL)sanctified by my glory. ⁴⁴I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar. ^(AM)Aaron also and his sons I will consecrate to serve me as priests. ⁴⁵^(AN)I will dwell among the people of Israel and will be their God. ⁴⁶And they shall know that ^(AO)I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
